Looking to the future of your screen business
As we continue to navigate our way through Covid-19, the shock may have subsided, but the uncertainty remains. The full impact remains unknown, yet in order to sustain our business we need to look to the future.
Creative Enterprise will bring together company leaders working in the moving image sector to share experiences, challenges and insights. Our recovery focus groups are a place to connect with your peers and discuss issues that are pertinent to your business, sharing and supporting one another as we look to the future sustainability and growth of the sector. The discussion groups will be hosted and facilitated by industry leaders and experts to provide a focussed discussion.
The groups are open to sole-traders and SMEs working in moving image for storytelling and based in the English regions outside of London.
The series will take place via Zoom.
Applicants will be notified whether they have secured a place on the session via email.

Hosted by Tim Evans (Head of Investment- Creative England)
Financial planning is never a straightforward task with so many variables to consider but add a global pandemic to the mix and it may seem impossible. This is an opportunity to discuss financial continuity and contingency plans with companies facing similar challenges and with the guidance of an expert. We will also explore how to approach your company investment needs during and post the current crisis. The session will provide an informal and confidential space to realign plans for the future.
For the past 15 years Tim has been helping creatives to realise their creative ambitions. Currently Head of Investment at Creative England, Tim oversees all investment activity for the company. Tim’s prior experience includes running his own production company, the management of Creative England’s equity fund and the programme management of the South West Innovation Network programmes.
